As a result of these investigations and studies, and ex-
perience gained from investigating UFO reports since 1948, the
conclusions of the Air Force were: (l) no UFO reported, investi-
gated, and evaluated by the Air Force has ever given any
indication of threat to our national security: (2) there has
been no evidence submitted to or discovered by the Air force
that sightings categorized as "unidentified" represent
technological developments or principles beyond the range of
present day scientific knowledge; and {3) there has been no
evidence indicating that sightings categorized as "unidentified"
are extraterrestrial vehicles.
With the termination of Project Blue Book, the Air Force
regulation establishing and controlling the program for investi-
gating and analyzing UFOs was rescinded. All documentation
regarding the former Blue Book investigation has been permanently
transferred to the Modern Military Branch, National Archives
and Records Service, 8th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.,
Washington, DC 20408, and is available for public review and
·analysis. Those wishing to review this material may obtain a
researcher's permit from the National Archives and Record
Service.
